Crile is a tiny lunar crater. It is roughly circular and cup-shaped, with interior walls that slope down to the mid-point. The crater lies in the Palus Somni, between the Mare Crisium to the east and Mare Tranquillitatis to the west.
This formation was previously designated 'Proclus F' before being renamed by the IAU. Proclus crater is located to the north-northeast.
